[QUOTE="shurai, post: 2345393"] I don't post much, but I've an interesting few comments about party makeup. Namely, rouge is always essential when it comes to party makeup, because the strange lighting at parties often makes your face lose its color. Sorry. Anyway, I'm playing in an Eberron game with four players (started with three). Essentially, every one of us is one of the wacky tweener classes, even my character in a sense. We've got: * Brin, shifter ranger * Magnus, human artificer * Lucas, human bard * Tarnish, warforged cleric (that's me, behold my insanity: the campaign is 28 point-buy and warforged have -2 wisdom) I count my own character as a 'tweener' because he's the most unoptimized cleric I've ever seen or played. I figured that since clerics are supposedly so mighty, that I could play a suboptimal cleric and it would work out to be a normal-powered PC. It's been tough at times, but as we gain levels our group is becoming [i]highly[/i] effective thanks to our tweenerness. The artificer, bard, and myself are capable of sustained buffage; I think if everyone chips in we can get our shifter's AC up to 28 or some ungodly number like that (we're fifth level by the way). It's a rarity to go into a fight without about four buffs active somewhere in the party. Our 'rogue' is sort of smeared across the whole party: Brin the ranger is an excellent scout, while Magnus is handy with locks, traps, and of course magical devices. Lucas handles the social stuff (naturally) while I guess Tarnish has little about him that is rogue-ish. Our wizardly stuff is handled mostly by Magnus and partly by Lucas. Fighting is mostly handled by Brin (who is basically terrifying in melee), but everyone [i]can[/i] fight (lots of buffs going around remember). I don't know how well it would work in other settings, but in Eberron it works great! [/QUOTE]
